After multiple readings, I find this book to be more about the process of reading it than the grander world it builds or the story it tells. It’s a story about stories, and it uses the medium of stories to great effect. But if you’re here for a complete series and care about the conceptual nature of the lore… maybe go somewhere else. It’s an amazing experience and wonderfully crafted and I don’t know if I’ve ever enjoyed reading a book quite as much as this.
